What Holistic Riding Equestrian Therapy does
Mission
Empowering and improving the quality of life for the special needs and veterans communities through equine assisted services, (eas) and the "spirit of the horse".
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
In 2024, we worked with more than 144 unique riders and provided some 515 classes. Volunteers provided over 8,850 hours of service to facilitate our skill-appropriate classes-from preschoolers on ponies to independent riders on horses. Working in conjunction with our local school district, our farm experience program is a hands-on interactive experience with farm chores, agricultural and environmental activites and caring for animals. Our curriculum fosters confident, independent and responsible individuals, while stimulating their interest in future educational and career opportunities. Our classes are geared to riders with special needs such as children with autism and returning veterans to provide therapy that changes lives.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $328k to $1.6M (+398%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 10% · 2020 11% · 2021 5% · 2022 6% · 2023 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
30% of HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $6k → $47k.
5 of 16 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 48% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 15 of 16 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
48% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 80% · 2020 65% · 2021 75% · 2022 48% · 2023 64% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
29% of HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
92% of HOLISTIC RIDING EQUESTRIAN THERAPY's grant income comes from Illinois funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $134k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
